July Outfit Post
Today I’m looking back at the outfits I wore in July. July was a bit of a funny old month, I’d just got back from my holiday and really wanted to show off my suntan, but the weather was changeable to say the least, with warm days teamed with rain, and days that were decidedly cool for the time of year. In many ways my outfit reflects that weather, with longer sleeves on tops and colours that would be more suited to Autumn than the tropical Summer we longed for. As ever, there was a good mixture of new buys, many picked up in the sales which I think have…

Primark Fashion Challenge with The Fort
Like most people, I am a bit of a fan when it comes to Primark, or Primarni, as it is often referred to. When the budget for shopping is a little limited I know I will be able to find myself a lovely wardrobe addition that will also be purse friendly. I love the shoe collection, which even has wider fit shoes now, and also the jewellery, particularly the necklaces, which often belie their bargain price, looking far more expensive. I was recently asked to take part in a bloggers style challenge with the brand new Primark store at The Fort shopping centre in Birmingham. What outfit(s) could I put…

Boho Dressing with Esprit
One of my favourite brands this summer has been Esprit. I have added quite a few pieces from the brand to my Summer Wardrobe, just loving the quality of the clothes and the fact that they offer something that is a little different from the majority of High Street stores. On a less happy note, I also managed to lose my favourite Esprit cardigan during a day in the park. The weather got warm, so I took my cardigan off and put it across my bag. At some point it must have slipped onto the floor and I didn’t notice until it was much to late. Despite retracing my steps,…
